A spirit dwells deep down in the gorge at the end of the Leutasch Valley. For centuries people have believed it was a spirit that had come down out of the mountains and found a place to hide in the inaccessible corners of the gorge. Others thought it was a demon, a supernatural creature whose task was to guard the northern entrance to Leutasch Valley together with the goblins of the gorge. These goblins would dance in the night to wondrous music, and in spring especially, when the Leutascher Ache was in flood with all the meltwater, the volume of sound would swell to a veritable fortissimo.
